From 1 January 2023, all higher education students, including those who commenced prior to 2021, must have a USI.
When must a student have a USI?
Students seeking Commonwealth support, in the form of a Commonwealth supported place and /or a HELP loan, must submit their USI when they apply for support. Other students will need a USI to confer their degree.
